matchcounter.vim
================
When searching in vim with `/` or `?` you can jump to matches with `n`
where `` is for example `3` or `42`. (So, `3n` will jump to the 3rd match.)
The problem with that is that you have to know the right number for the match your interested in.
And this is what `matchcounter.vim` solves.
If a search performed with `/` or `?` finds more than 1 match in the visible area,
then this plugin displays a counter for each match,
so that you know which number to type to jump there.
If you don't type a number, then the counter disappears immediately.
Usage
-----
Just search something with `/`, and if there are multiple matches visible in your window,
labels will appear that allow you to jump directly to any of the matches.
*This plugin does not change any mappings.*
It uses the `CmdlineLeave` autocommand to know when a search happened,
and merely displays some labels for a while.
